In crypto, there are coins that make you not just an investor but a participant in the governance of the protocol.
These are governance tokens: you hold → you vote → you decide where the project goes.
Here are the TOP ones that really hold weight:
🔥 1. $ARB (Arbitrum)
A huge DAO and a billion-dollar treasury.
Your vote decides where the money goes and what updates to launch.
🔥 2. $OP (Optimism)
One of the most active voting ecosystems.
Decisions on network development are made by holders, not the company.
🔥 3. $UNI (Uniswap)
Classic.
Votes are for fees, trading functions, and the development of the largest DEX.
🔥 4. AAVE
Each new coin in the lending goes through voting by AAVE holders.
🔥 5. LDO (Lido DAO)
Managing the largest staking protocol.
Votes determine the staking parameters and the protocol strategy.
❓ How does voting work?
Explanation in simple terms:
1️⃣ You hold a governance token
(for example ARB, UNI or AAVE).
2️⃣ A proposal appears in the protocol
— change the fee
— add a new coin
— allocate funds
— update the protocol
3️⃣ You vote: For / Against
Your vote = the number of tokens.
4️⃣ If the majority is “For” → the decision is executed
The system automatically applies changes.

This is decentralization: not the CEO decides,
and the community of holders.
